Student Testimonials for our courses and services

Nigel and Kate Lees from the UK

"My wife Kate and I live in Antalya for the majority of the year and after an initial months course at TOMER we looked for a teacher who we could arrange a flexible course of Turkish Language learning with.

At that time Babel had just started and I think we were some of their first pupils. The course content was just what we were looking for with plenty of practical day to day language, all of which we could practice with our friends and neighbours. The most encouraging aspect to Babel is the utter professionalism in the way they approach their business and at the same time creating a friendly and inviting atmosphere in which to enjoy the learning experience. Both my wife and I would not hesitate in recommending Babel to anyone of any age who wants to learn a language as they are practitioners of the finest quality."

"I studied Turkish for 6 weeks (15 hours/week) with Mehtap and one of her instructors, Fatma. Wow, I'm amazed how much I learned in such a short amount of time. The Turkish classes were intensive, and it took a fair bit of work outside of class to try and remember what we learned each day. Mehtap does spend time reviewing previous lessons so the beginning material isn't lost along the way. I certainly recommend her school.

Additionally I took advantage of the family stay that Mehtap offers. I stayed with Fadime and Murat, Mehtap's mother and brother. The house and private room were comfortable, the food was good, and I got daily evening Turkish conversations with Fadime."

I came across this nice Antalya language school by chance browsing on the internet and I was quite right on first impression.

I've been an absolute beginner in the Turkish language. I recognized it's a difficult language to learn because of this endlesssssssss long suffixes-constructions and so on I had tried to learn by myself before, but couldn't find real beginning this way.

The way Mehtap and Fatma teacher is quite varied and effective. From the beginning I got explanation and help in English language, but they tried to reduce this as soon as possible. They only use the necessary, simple words and sentences with a slow and clear pronunciation. This way you learn step by step, and become better day by day.

The school is close to Keleici (the romantic old town) and best starting point wherever you will go. The school is very pleasant and let me tell you about this roofgarden (!!!) what also belongs to BABEL school. You will love it, feel free in the open air and I'm sure you will enjoy the magnificent panorama-view. "

Mary (39) from London, UK

‘I first came to Antalya to help my partner invest in property and our estate agent recommended Babel for Turkish lessons. As someone who doesn't particulary enjoy learning languages I was worried about committing to the beginner's course at a professional school however Mehtap put me at ease.

I studied in 3 hour sessions, working with Babels own books and techniques. The course is paced well and the homework is fun and helps reinforce the learning very well. I've made good progress in the language and most importantly have developed the confidence to speak to locals as a result of doing this course.

Mehtap was flexible about finding the best days and times to work with me and I really recommend this school. I have also used Babel for document translation and must say the price was very reasonable compared to others, they did a great job in a fast time and gave me lots of good advise about dialy living in Turkey."

"The reason why I chose Babel Language School is that they are really flexible in time, I could go to university and also to the language school whenever I wanted. I am really satisfied with the teaching method, and with the way they are developing your language, especially with focusing on your needs! Everyone is quite welcoming and kind, and it is already visible when you enter at the door!
All in all, if you want to learn Turkish individually and you don't like learning in groups, and you look for quality education, I can recommend this school for sure! "

"I was reluctant to join an online course but I had luck when trying to select Mrs Mahtap Karakaya , she was professional in communication from the starting point. When I registered Mehtap sent me all of the appropriate course materials.
Mehtap made my course easy, enjoyable and I appreciate her ways to make it easy for me ..I understood the prinicple of Turkish lanuguge in couple of lessons .. Mrs Karakya had huge information about different languges .. which can add information to your knowledge to further support foreign langauge learning .

I encourage who ever is interested to learn foreign languge to contact Mrs Mehtap ..I wish you all good luck."

"The Babel Language School is a fantastic place and has been my favorite educational experience. The TEFL teachers are knowledgeable, friendly, and do everything they can to help you succeed both in your education and in your life in Antalya. The office is centrally located and easily accessible, and you'll find that you've not only earned a certification but most likely made some good friends for life as well. I would recommend this Babel to anyone who is wishing to earn their TEFL certification, without hesitation, you won't regret the experience!"

The Story of the Tower of Babel

According to the biblical account, a united humanity of the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating from the east, came to the land of Shinar, where they resolved to build a city with a tower "with its top in the heavens...lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the Earth." God came down to see what they did and said: "They are one people and have one language, and nothing will be withholden from them which they purpose to do." So God said, "Come, let us go down and confound their speech." And so God scattered them upon the face of the Earth, and confused their languages, and they left off building the city, which was called Babel "because God there confounded the language of all the Earth."(Genesis 11:5-8).
